Amazon.com Product Description
The Panasonic RPHV277 Insidephone Headphones are a perfect back-up pair of headphones to have for your portable audio players. These affordable in-ear headphones feature 14.8 millimeter drivers with magnets made of neodymium, a rare-earth material that optimizes the performance of small magnets. The rated frequency response for these headphones is a hefty 10 Hz-25 kHz, a spec that the most expensive headphones would be ambitious to boast. The RPHV277s come with a compact carrying case and a cord with an L-shaped 1/8-inch mini jack. At this price and with these features, it makes sense to keep a pair of RPHV277s on hand in case your other set gets lost or stolen. What's in the Box

Summary: Not great for volume control... 2008-09-09
Comment: I got these earphones primarily for the volume control feature to use on my PC, so that I won't have to click around with the mouse everytime I want to change the volume. These turned out not to be so great for this because...
a) The range of volume control is too minor to be useful. The sound difference between the min and max setting on the volume control is perhaps only 1/10 of total volume difference you can get by manually setting it on the PC.
b) The volume control is set quite close to the earphones, so, unless you let the lines dangle in front of you, there's a lot fumbling around the neck trying to find the volume control.
C)the sound quality is also quite mediocre.
Overall, I'd recommend spending a little more getting a better pair which might be more functional.

Summary: Confusing pictures, don't have a carrying case 2008-06-21
Comment: Take precautions before purchasing it if you want a carrying case!
You need to ask each seller if they have these earbuds with the carrying case shown in picture; mine doesn't comes with it! Amazon mistakenly placed these pictures for all RP-HV162 and rarely they comes with this winding case.

Summary: Much better than other headphones - tested 2008-06-06
Comment: I couldn't decide which headphones to order, so I bought these headphones, as well as Sony MDR-E828LP Fontopia Earbuds, JBuds Hi-Fi Noise-Reducing Ear Buds JBDW, and Koss SportaPro Stereo Headphones 155475. All models were less than 20$ each and got good reviews.
After testing them, my conclusions are:
The Panasonic and the Koss are the best, and much much better than the Sony and the Jbuds. The frequency response of both the Panasonic and Koss is 20-25K while Sony is 20-22K and Jbuds is 20-20K. Frequency response is not the only specification to consider when buying headphones, but it is one of the more important ones.
When comparing the Panasonic and Koss - Koss are designed differently (on the ear vs. earbud) and it affects the sound, but I was surprised the sound wasn't reacher compared to the panasonic. I think Panasonic has a slight edge, as they are cheaper. But they have totally different styles so it is a matter of personal preference too.
btw - In the product page of the Panasonic, the headphones are shown with a carrying case, but mine came without. I didn't care for the case, so I didn't mind.

Summary: panasonic did it again 2008-04-17
Comment: This is a great product, I am buying another set for my daughter. My son is picky about how the earbuds fit and feel in his ears and he loves these. The volume control is great too because he can lower the volume easily but he doesn't have to take them off to talk to someone. I really like panasonic products and as usual amazon got them here very quickly.

Summary: Meh. Not That Impressed. 2008-02-24
Comment: The sound is a lot like an old transistor radio speaker: muffled, tinny, weak. There are headphones and earbuds out there that will do a much better job for you.
